    It's all about genre.

    Willie Nelson is not a rapper. Eminem is not a soul singer.

    A cowboy in Wyoming is probably going with country, while a black kid in Detroits inner city......country????
    Blacks tend to listen to black music regardless of region or upbringing. Hence why you see blacks raised in France wearing baseball hats, basketball shoes and saggy jeans

    You do understand the impact black music has had on white music, right? Why?

    By that logic NSYNC and Taylor Swift are the GOAT music acts
    Taylor Swift isn't more known than pop artists like Michael Jackson or Madonna, tbh.

    NSYNC comes second to the BackStreet Boys on the GOAT boy band list, tbh.

    Meh. Europeans had Operas while africans were still wiping their butts with bushes. Not like blacks brought the guitar to America as slaves. Their main influence is drum and bass

    You really aren't getting it at all.

    Where did country music come from?
    How about soul, funk, blues, jazz, R&B, rock & roll...well?
    British rock?

    Where did Pink Floyd get that name? How about The Rolling Stones? Ever read up on.....anyone?

    Dude, weren't you talking about slaves?

    Reality, ok?

    Nat King Cole. Ella Fitzgerald. Chuck Berry. Aretha Franklin. Kendrick Lamar.

    When it comes to understanding the power of black artists in the American musical landscape, there is certainly no shortage of icons from which to choose. In fact, it is impossible to discuss the history of American music without examining the origins and impact of black music. For consumers of music today, the overarching influence of black music is palpable in every chord and lyric.

    “You cannot imagine American music without its African influences. It just doesn’t exist,” said Benjamin Harbert, an assistant professor of music in the Department of Performing Arts.

    Black music adds a layer of diversity to the American iden y and constantly responds to the black American experience. The daily struggles, triumphs, hopes and failures of generations of black Americans are carefully and methodically recorded not only in the pages of history textbooks but also by the music and lyrics of the era.

    Who recorded the first Rock & Roll records? Where did Jimmie Rodgers "The Father of Country Music" get his influenses growing up in Mississippi? Who influensed The Rolling Stones? How about Led Zeppelin? Bob Dylan? Bob Wills? The Beatles, Elvis?

    It is also known that Eminem was a big NWA fan. He recalls about his first meeting with Dr Dre :

    “It was an honor to hear the words out of Dre’s mouth that he liked my . Growing up, I was one of the biggest fans of N.W.A, from putting on the sunglasses and looking in the mirror and lip-synching to wanting to be Dr. Dre, to be Ice Cube. This is the biggest hip-hop producer ever.”


    The listener who has studied a NWA tape has probably noticed how many rich its musical composition is :you will so many different black musical genres : soul, blues, jazz, reggae …

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You can't find any music today that can't be traced back to earlier influenses.

    If you think you can analyze hip hop credentials through album sales and Grammys, then you’re hopeless. It’s okay, you aren’t American so didn’t have much of a chance.
